Am i on the rebound?

I've just been through a crappy break up with my bf and i've found myself really liking this guy who i liked before but i never y'know asked him out again. Is this classified as "rebound"?

I liked him a lot before. Is it normal for me to want to move on so quickly (after like a week)?

Definitely rebound, and maybe the guy you like will realise it..

Your all being a little harsh

People will think it is a rebound including the guy so, you will have to make sure you convince yourself and him that its not rebound

After a bad break up I think it's a good idea to stay single for a while, it's the only way to be sure if this guy is a rebound or not. Why not leave it a month or so and then see if you still feel the same way?

I think its good that you want to move on so quickly. I am the opposite and wish it wasn't that way, it takes me ages to get over a guy...i think i get attached to people too quickly and easily. :frown:

Aren't you the one who was so worried about her boyfriend going on holiday for 10 days? What on earth happened?

If you liked this guy before and didnt ask him out for whatever reason, maybe you went out with your ex on the rebound??? Best to wait a couple of weeks, see how you really feel.

more parameters need data.

e.g - how long were you with your boyfriend, and how long has elapsed since the break up

Probably a rebound - but you can probably tell if it is really a rebound by thinking like this - are you constantly comparing him with your now-ex-bf? Seeing similarities between the two and liking the new guy cus of it?

I knew this new guy I had fancied about a month or two after my break-up wasn't a rebound simply cus I knew he was a completely different person to my ex - it wasn't a replacement.

/not guilty of this :redface:

I think you just need to grieve for what you've lost, and that doesn't involve leading on another guy. Rebound's not a nice term, but I can see you're probably just going after this other guy because you want someone to comfort you and seeing as you liked this guy before, he's an obvious choice to place your new 'attractions'.
You need time to decide what you really want, so don't rush into anything. :smile:
